Vorys, who I Is looking after the Interest of Secretary Taffs candidacy for the presidency, left St. Louis late last night well plea.scd with the sitnation in Missouri. He and Henry A. Williams, who is with him in the work for Taft, spent a busy day here, although Mr. Williams admitted that Kansas City kept them rather more busy than St. Louis. Thomas I. Adkins of the na- lonal commiiiee; Thomas K. Nled- rlngliaiis, until recently state chairman; Pcptlia Howe, chairman of the St. Louis city committee; Charles N'a- gcl. Judge Bert D. Nortoni, Otto Silfel and many others who are leaders In their districts, although less widely known, conferred with Mr. Vorys. The three republican congressmen of St. Louis, H. M. Condrey, A. Darthold and H. S. Caulfleld, were visitors this afternoon. Nearly all of these men gave positive assurance that St. Louis city is safely and certainly for Tafr. W. E. Fleutge of Cape Clrardean. who was the republican nominee for railroad .ind warehou.se comml.s.sloner in lUon,. brought information that throws a -new light on the situation In the far southeast part of the state. Friends of Taft have been afraid thar section was less solid for Taft than the west of the state, but they did not know much about it. Herbert S. Hadley bad occasion to visit that district recently and brought back information^ which confirms Fleutgo's Idea that'the Thirteenth and Fourteenth districts are safe for Taft. Arthur Patrick Murphy, ex-congressman from the .'Sixteenth district, one of the few Cannon supporters In .Ml.-^souri, was here last night. I'm for I'nele ,Ioe,' he p.Tld. "but this state Is going for Taft. It's going n be delivered lo lilm solidly and there is no use kicking about II, thcngh he is not my flrst ebolre." Thoma.s .T.

KANSAS GETS REVENUE The >'ew Stale IVill Not Be Aftached to Arkansas Collection District. Wa.shini ;ton. On. 17.~Senator Curtis was informed today by officials of the treasurj- department that the new ^tat« of Oklahoma would not be detached from the Kansas internal revenue district. The commissioner of .Internal reventiC' recently decided to iFsue an ord ?r attaching the new iatate to the Arlcansas district. Sen :Btor Curtis convinced the commission •er that there was no good reason for .the change. If i( had been made the Kan-sas district Would have lost many ,3pb8. \ ers for Taft. Perhaps the fact that Taft six>kc at Springfield had something to do with it. Three months ago Springfield and Green county were not ab.solutely .safe. There was a chance of losing the county because of strong opposition Inflnenees. Taft's visit set the tide in the other direction.

"The qestlon should not be how many children,' but their condition and what kind of citizens they will make. This plea for the little onea, that some thought should be given to prolonging tho life of the mother and thus protect the babes, should occupy first place ia the work of mother clubs. The size of the family Is of less importance." Mr, Fish occupied n seat at the left t r President Harahan, being surround c.l.hy his attorn?ys and advisors.

The delay was caused by the inabil Ky of three election Inspectors, who were appointed to act as a commit tee on credentials in considering the proxies, to finish their work. The adjournment was taken after an car nest tilt between William Nelson Cromwell, Mr. Harrison's leading counsel, and .lames .\. Patt.'>n, a prominent member of the Chicago board of trade.
